The
lessons of God are imbedded in every moment, however development of deeper
understanding requires patience and sharp-eyed, determined, searching. This is
not the spiritless pursuit that often plagues the soul; rather, it is
hunger-driven yearning to discover deeper truth. Each life circumstance, both good
and bad, offers treasure troves easily missed by the impatient. We must learn
to take it all in and not miss a thing. Lord of Wisdom, calm me down when I
rush past concealed, but discernible insights. Reign in my futile striving and
point me to those hidden treasures that truly matter.
A serious pursuit of godliness requires an equally serious renunciation of worldliness. Too often, we measure spirituality with false scales. While being wisely selective with our public vices we are less so with our private attitudes and perspectives. In reality, it is the thoughts and intents of the heart where the greatest battles must be waged; our actions will ultimately align with the condition of our hearts. Lord God, You know me inside out, You are not fooled by human facades. Plow my heart with Your Word and Spirit and leave nothing unturned. Refresh my inward man that I may outwardly glorify You in all places at all times.
